Songtext Better times they are coming our way Cracker

Better times they are coming our way

(Instrumental lead-in)

Come on in Number Forty-Three,
You seem surprised to see me
Just relax, this won't take long,
A mere formality...

Would you like to have a Coke
A lawyer or perhaps a smoke?
All of these things can be provided.

(Chorus)
Better times they are coming our way
Coming our way
Coming our way
You know that better times they are comin' our way,
Comin' our way...

Now don't be shy and don't deny!
We've all seen the evidence;
Clearly this is not your first offense.

An airtight case, we all agree
But we've seen worse quite frequently,
Nonetheless, you crossed...
That threshold.

(chorus)

VOX undercurrent includes, "Can you help to make flow? Can we help you make flow? Think about it."

Cup of coffee, Number Forty-Three?
The Big Man he will be right along,
So just relax, it won't take long,
A mere formality.

The camel's small, the needle large,
No my friend, you're not in charge,
We've heard it all before, just await your reckoning.

(chorus)

Open up for Number Eight
She's standing at the garden gate
Little Bo-Peep,
With her pit bull.
Open up for Number Four,
Waitin' at... your back door,
(Fades to semi-intelligible references
to standing "with karma and the Lord" as melody fades and blackness descends.)
